Massage Education
Becky completed her massage education at Blue Sky School of Massage in Madison, WI. While in school, she chose the medical massage track. This includes Precision Neuromuscular Therapy (PNMT) Seminars, also known as medical massage. She learned how to massage each specific muscle from one attachment to the end of the other attachment. This is an important treatment technique for clients with specific pain issues.
In December of 2014, Becky finished the PNMT Certification. She became the first and only massage therapist in Iowa to gain this impressive designation. As it states on the PNMT website, “More than a technique or modality, PNMT is really a way of thinking, applying clinical reasoning in soft-tissue therapy…PNMT is centered on problem-solving, which is challenging and requires a much greater skill set from the therapist.”
Massage Businesses
The massage therapy office location is in Dubuque, IA. For that reason, Dubuque Massage Therapy LLC is a registered Iowa business. Becky also owns Platteville Massage Therapy LLC, located in Platteville, WI. Therefore, it is a registered Wisconsin business.
